ABSTRACT: To determine lung function and the conditions of exposure to particulate matter produced by two factories among 264 residents in the township of La Sierra, in Puerto Nare municipality of Antioquia, in 2008. Methodology: spirometries were performed and a questionnaire of respiratory symptoms was applied. Particulate matter smaller than 10 micrometters (PM10), temperature, humidity, wind direction and precipitation during six months were measured. Results: 7.2% of the people showed the lowest percentage of forced expiratory volume (FEV) below 70%. A total amount of 27.7% and 28% had FEV1 and forced vital capacity (FVC) below 80%. The largest number of people tested with the % FEV <70% lives in the four neighboring districts nearby ...
